WILLIAM WAGGONER. Mason County is the home of a large number of enterprising and progressive farmers, whose estates add attractiveness to the landscape, being marked by first-class improvements, and the air of thrift that gives one unacquainted with rural life a good idea of the value of farm property. Manito Township has her share of these well regulated farms, and one of them is located on section 35, where Mr. Waggoner owns one hundred and sixty acres of land. In addition to this property he is also the proprietor of fourteen acres of valuable land located in the city of Pekin.
In this sketch it is but a fitting tribute to a noble man, that mention should be made of the father of our subject, Henry Waggoner, who was born in Germany, and on coming to America located in New Jersey. Thence in 1837 he came to Tazewell County, where his decease occurred in the fall of 1838. His trade was that of a carpenter, and he took an active interest in all public enterprises.
Our subject was born in Monmouth County, N. J., August 28, 1813, and there spent the years of boyhood and youth. Two years previous to his father's death he married Miss Deborah, daughter of Benjamin and Paline (Anderson) Chambers. Mrs. Waggoner was born in New Jersey in 1827, and in June of the year following her marriage, came with her husband to Illinois. They made their home in Pekin, where our subject followed the carpenter's trade until 1860, when he engaged in the mercantile business. This he carried on for three years, and then resumed his trade, at which he worked until 1880, the date of his advent into Manito Township. During that year he located on the farm where he is at present residing. When the property came into his possession it was nothing more than raw prairie. He immediately set about clearing and improving the land, and now has a comfortable and pleasant home.
To Mr. and Mrs. Waggoner were born eight children, four of whom are now living, namely: Martha, Lydia, Emma, and Benjamin. His first wife died in 1852, and he was again married in 1867, choosing as his wife Mrs. Jane Eagle, a most worthy lady who died in 1869, mourned by many friends. Although our subject can scarcely be called a politician he is an ardent supporter of the Republican party, and is a law-abiding citizen. Personally he possesses the qualities which have surrounded him with many warm friends, and his honorable life is well worthy of emulation.
